Our panasonic PT-53WX42F just started doing the same thing. It shut off by itself. We could not turn it on again. Then the power light flashes, slow, don't know how often. When I unplug the TV, it turns on only for like 1-2 seconds, then shuts off again. Any help?Our panasonic PT-53WX42F just started doing the same thing. It shut off by itself.

Hello, it sounds like the color wheel may have failed. Was there any noises, like a high pitch sound before it went out? If the color wheel isn't turning at proper speed, the set won't start up by shutting down the lamp protection circuit.

Hey it's easier to just do it manually that try to look all over the world for a number. On your remote- hold the set code button until it stays on then hit the T. V button once. The light should still be steady. Now hit the power button repeatedly. You can also hit the Chanel +\- the pwr. Bttn is more accurate I think. But as soon as your tv shuts off hit enter. Be sure not to pwr. Smash the pwr. Bttn

If your tv is around 2-4 yrs or used 6000-8000 hrs,never replaced the lamp before it could be time to replace it.If you hear strange noises like buzzing or humming noises it could be the color wheel which is a little disc that has a gamma of colors and spins at high rpms.When the light of the lamp goes through it creates the colors on your tv.The other most common failure is the board that powers the lamp,which is called the ballast.When its bad it will make a clicking sound or like wanting to turn on. For parts you can find them in partstore.com shopjimmy.com or discount-merchant.com God bless.

This TV has reached the end of its (short) life. Needs to be replaced.

You can try looking at what kind of TV it is, what model, and look at the manufacturer's web site, check for the manual, look up what it means when the green light flashes. Might be a code that means something but I think the TV is dead.
